Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Alex De Ville
Alex works from approaches that emphasise understanding the person in front of him and developing practical tools to manage everyday difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client's perspective guides the pace and goals of therapy - it is helpful for building self-awareness, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and learn concrete strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress - it is often used for mood challenges, worry, and problems with sleep and routine. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past relationships and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and reactions, which can be useful for working through attachment issues, repeated relationship difficulties, and deeper emotional patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Alex collaborates with each client to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting style and techniques over time to ensure the work feels meaningful and effective.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make regular support more accessible for people living in different locations or managing busy lives, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on progress and goals without logistical barriers.
